Topic: Medical Billing in another State (Read 2292 times)

I have a medical billing business in Nevada and have been approached to bill for a physician in Florida, do I need to obtain a business license in Florida to bill for this physician. I will not have an office in Florida, all claims submissions will be handled out of my office in Nevada. Thanks

I wouldn't think you would need a license to bill for a Dr in Florida, but you might want to check with your state and see what the laws are. I'm in Oregon and I bill for Dr's in Florida and don't need a business license.

You know that some people still bill as % in some states that consider it fee splitting. I don't know how they are not aware of this but I get the impression either they don't care of that they do WHATEVER the doctor/provider wants. I read posts on Linked In and the people who know of fee splitting speak up and say "hey your state considers this illegal" and they continue to do it. SMH shame

The sadder part is they think they are doing it FOR the provider. the state says nothing about the billing company can't charge a percentage, the law says the PROVIDER cannot enter into a fee-splitting arrangement. It's the provider's Neck on the line and the billing company's contract isn't worth the paper it's typed on in court. I don't get it either..
